Using Tissue Culture and 'Cloning' for Rare Plant Conservation

In this resource, students carry out a 'cauliflower cloning' tissue culture practical to investigate totipotency in plants. The practical is placed in the context of a STEM careers case study, to give students a broader understanding of the underlying science.

Students are introduced to Jonathan Kendon, a...

Using Trig Identities to Solve a Quadratic in Sin x

The mathematical solution explains how to use the identity sin2x + cos2x≡ 1 to form a quadratic equation which can then be solved in a given range. The method of 'splitting the middle term' is used in order to help factorise the resulting quadratic in sin2x. The two resulting equations are then considered...

Using USB Technologies to Promote Active Learning in STEM

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at the theme of harnessing technology. Petroc is a further education college in the South West of England. This case study describes how the college tackled the professional development of science staff in the area of teaching...

Using Video as a Tool for a Cross-Curricular Approach to Teaching STEM Subjects

The main aim of the study was to:

*engage students and enhance their learning in mathematics through cross-curricular work with other STEM subjects, using video as a tool to encourage students to:
- reflect on...

Using Video to Illustrate Dynamic Equilibria *suitable for home teaching*

In this short video clip, produced by Becta, a group of GCSE students describe how they used...
